MAL FAQ
Video of the markers are taken from eight cameras that are suspended from the ceiling in a circular pattern around the room. The markers should be visible by as many cameras as possible, so short shorts and a tank top are ideal to ensure that markers are visible at all times.
We do not have a locker room for changing, but restrooms that can be used for changing clothes are located adjacent to the lab. No shower facilities are available. Your belongings will be secure in the lab.
You may or may not be able to wear your shoes during testing. Laboratory staff will let you know ahead of time whether you can wear shoes or not.
Set-up for a motion analysis study takes anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on how many balls or muscle sensors are used. Testing time will vary greatly by what activities are included, but it generally lasts 30 to 45 minutes.
The Motion Analysis Lab is located in room 026 in the basement of Alexander Hall on the Portland Campus for the Health Sciences of ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥. There is a ramp from the sidewalk in front of the building to the main entrance, and there is an elevator to the basement. If you need a wheelchair or person to guide you to the lab, let us know and we’ll happily have someone meet you at your car and direct you from there.
You may park on the street, in the patient parking of the Oral Health Center, or in the lot behind Alexander Hall where the lab is located. If you wish to park in a ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ lot, the MAL can provide you with a parking permit, allowing you to park for free. Do not park in the Armory Parking Lot — you will be towed.
You may leave a message on the main phone number of the lab, (207) 221-4151, or e-mail Mike Lawrence (mlawrence3@une.edu) or Katy Rudolph (krudolph@une.edu).
